"BETWEEN LIGHT AND STONE" By Toni Al Maalouf

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

Dimensions: 120×100 cm

Description: This large-scale abstract cityscape presents a rhythmic forest of buildings rendered in soft, “nude” tones—creams, beiges, warm greys, and muted taupes—overlaid with bold strokes and washes of cobalt and ultramarine blue. Vertical and angular forms suggest high‑rise silhouettes, yet their edges dissolve into one another through layered glazing and feathered brushwork. Pools of deep blue cascade down the façade of the composition, anchoring the neutral palette and drawing the eye through the urban landscape like rivers of sky. Delicate scratch‑marks and fine impasto add tactile texture, while occasional splashes of pearly white and pale ochre punctuate the scene, hinting at windows catching twilight. The result is a contemplative vision of the city at dusk—simultaneously architectural and atmospheric—where structure meets fluidity under a dominantly blue horizon.
